Ecosystem: Coral Reef plunges you into a coral reef where each card represents a different marine organism – from vibrant corals and clownfish to turtles and sharks. The game operates as a closed draft: you receive a set of cards, pick one, pass the rest, and repeat until you fill your 4x5 grid of 20 cards. Once all players finish, scoring begins: each animal earns points based on the habitat and food source that best fits, with extra bonuses for balancing producers, predators, and prey. The challenge is to craft a unique ecosystem each game, maximizing diversity and food‑web efficiency. The pace is quick – 15 to 20 minutes per game – and the closed‑draft mechanic adds strategic tension as you think not only about what you want but what others might take. For those who enjoy card games that blend science, ecology, and competition, Ecosystem: Coral Reef delivers a fast, educational, and fun experience with high replayability thanks to random card draws and the variety of ecosystem combinations you can build.
